High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz

In December 2011,I wrote that High Fidelity cables led by cable designer Rick Schultz was putting together a new cable.The cable came to market as CT-1.The CT-1 has FINALLY made it into my system!I had obtained a version of the prototype that Rick had been working on.It blew my previous reference Genesis by Virtual Dynamics.I thought I had finally found my end with this cable.This prototype delivered to my ears "Nirvana".Could I be at the end of my quest for the ultimate sound?
No. I received two pairs of CT-1 to replace my prototypes.They went into the system this past Friday.Unable to dedicate time until Sunday listening,I stole a few moments,ducking away from company with anticipation.My guest could tell even with the music set for"ambiance"something was intriguing and I was in for a treat!
The experience:
First off,CT-1 was very user friendly.Installation was simple;the cable is very nice and light.The female RCA fit beautifully unlike any I had found in other cable.It was secure and reliable.It seemed much thought was dedicated to developing a designer fit to an aesthetically stunning RCA connector.Install entailed a few wiggles to ensure what seemed like a compression fit on my RCA.
It was 2-3 hrs. for the 1st step of break in to be complete.At that point I had something different!Today,although they only have 10-12 hrs. on them,I can`t put into words how much my system has transformed.Believe me,I loved my prototypes.However....there is simply no comparision.
The clarity and sound is so natural.
The soundstage is like nothing I ever heard.Resoulution is breathtaking and inner detail is simply hard to believe possible.
The sound has transended and now it simply does not seem as thought I have speakers.
My system is musicians playing music.
I am told with time they will improve and I trust that as it was revealed with the prototypes.I wanted to share my thoughts with you that now.
Unequivocally,a testament to High Fidelity,as the name declares.
High Fidelity Cables for me,the last word on it,after 12 hours!
Truly Amazing

Hi tbg
How did you get 7 MC o.5 plugged into your MC-6? Best i can tell they only hold 6 MC O.5s? are you using a splitter there to? Is your MC-6 a Hemisphere or just the MC-6? About how many hours do you have on it?
Thanks Pete

Hello benjie
I have the MC-6 Hemisphere. Plugged into it is my pre amp, SACD/CD player, my TV and sat. box along with 2 MC O.5s. If your MC-6 is full of Mc O.5 you would have that plugged into the same wall plug as another MC-6 that could have your equipment plugged into or just one power cord to a single piece of equipment. This technology seam to benefit the whole wall plug  and any thing attached. It seams the more magnets on the line makes better music so far.
Enjoy Pete

I am finding that adding more after a initial 4 mc-0.5, there is more refinement, smoothness and realness.

The thing is, bass also goes deeper and with more impact, It does however, seem to start shifting the midrange bass fullness and vocals (clearer) but also starts leaning out. Not that it sounds lean, but its cleaning up this region maybe a tad much.

I still find it sounds awesome and having more improvements still. This could be system dependent,but for you guys especially those using the cables as well. Is this a trait of the cables - very neutral and balanced sounding, so midrange is not all all warm but still very clear and neutral?
